Tasting Notes

Nose

Gentle spiciness — sweet oak, vanilla, dried fruit, medium amber colour, the high rye announcing itself subtly on the nose

Palate

Sweet vanilla and caramel first — then spice kicks in from the 28% rye, maple, oak, nutmeg, the rye giving a bold character that blends smoothly into the finish, great for cocktails

Finish

Long, dry, and satiny — light toffee flavour, the high rye providing a clean, spicy close that lingers without bitterness

Expert Review

7/10

The high-rye frontier bourbon — 68% corn, 28% rye, 4% malted barley. The unusually high rye content gives Bulleit its bold, spicy character that distinguishes it from sweeter, corn-forward bourbons. A bartender's favourite for its spicy kick in cocktails. Long, dry, satiny finish.
